In theory, about 95% of one animal is usable. The remaining 5% is
processing losses. From that 95%, about 55% (on average) of the animal
is used for edible products and the remaining 45% is inedible
by-products. The world production of ABPs derived from the meat and
animal production industries is approximately 60 million tons per year.
It has been estimated that more than 10 million tons of products not
destined for direct human consumption, derived from healthy animals, are
produced in the EU every year.A lot of ABPs are commonly used in
important productive sectors, such as in the pharmaceutical, feed, wool
and leather industries but, notwithstanding, new technologies have
widened the possible use of ABPs and derived products. Consequently a
wide range of ABPs are not utilized and are destined to disposal.
Further studies are required to hone accuracy and to find and define the
appropriate application for the countless substances present in the
animal reproductive organs.
